“Fantastic stay”
Great place to stay that takes sustainability to another level. Great to learn how the hotel was built with sustainable materials. The non flushing toilets took a moment to get used to but the tech to make them non smelling is excellent. The dinners each night and personalised breakfasts were exceptional

“Gorgeous Eco lodge with great food, handy for Routeburn trail.”
The gardens, decor and general ambience of the place is lovely. The lodge rooms are very cute and spacious with nice shower, tea and coffee making facilities and the compostable toilet was very clean and did not smell at all. Everything was run in an eco friendly manner with lots of explanation around about what they do and why in this regard. The dinner & breakfast were excellent, good chef!
